Hi Aavya. The whistle blew, and Aavya came last. Aavya sat in the dust. Stopping here will make the shame smaller, Aavya thought. Why did it not? Shame shortens the steps. It does not leave. Aavya walked to Krishna. Krishna had come last that day too. He stood up and smiled. The medal is not your work. The path is. Run slowly first, then a little faster. Aavya stood and took the same path. Aavya, losing is not the end. Trying again is the story.

What are good short moral stories for kids?
Start with the butter thief, two sweets, the race, or the swing. Each one is a short moral story for children about four to eight. Press play and sit with them.
What bedtime story helps a child sleep?
Lower the light and play one story: time to sleep, the moon, or goodnight. Do not start a new game after it. Stay until the last line.
Is my child's name saved?
No. The name appears only in the story on this page and is sent to make the voice. It is not stored in the link, a cookie, or a record.
